    "Best WMP Yet, but still not iTunes"

    November 1, 2006  |   By tamsadek

    Pros

    Sleek and sexy design, integrated online media content. Useful for Windows users who don't have an iPod and want to sync to a player such as iAudio, etc and a great leap forward from MS...

    I downloaded it and will keep it as I'm running Windows XP Media Center 2005 and it's useful to have.

    Cons

    Still not compatible with Apple's AAC format means you cannot sync your iTunes library with WMP's, unless it all MP3. The UK Packard Bell online media store charges 99p per track, which is 20p more that iTunes UK - which in itself is a rip off! I'll stay with iTunes and use this as needed...
